This isn't right
This isn't the way it should be
But can't you see?
We can be so much more
We can be so much better
We can do our best and then try a little more

Yes, this world is beautiful
But it's also broken
Yes, I can see the potential for greatness
But the potential for failure screams at me
There's light at the end of the tunnel
But we'll never reach it unless we try

Is perfection attainable?
Will the critic ever be satisfied with the product?
I may never know
So I will do all that I can to reach my goal
Don't say it's impossible
Because it's all I know to do

Give me a problem
I'll show you the solution
Give me a wrong
I will make it right
But the one thing I will never be able to correct
Is myself

I see the flaws in everyone,
But I'll never let you see them in me.
I'll do whatever it takes to be guiltless,
So I never receive the blame.
I'm flawless, untainted, perfect;
At least that's what I want you to believe.

There is always room to grow
Room to be better, to strive for perfection
But there is also room for grace
For my Father does not love me for what I've done
He loves me for what His Son did for me
And all I can do is accept his gift of grace
